I'm thinking about starting in mid-August. I'll be doing it as a tour and not a race. Did you finalize your start date?

Hey guys - I am looking for a partner (or partners) to do either the Great Divide Mountain Bike route (or the AZ or CT trail depending on your flexibility). I want to start in early August. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who can take off that much time and I don't want to ride it solo! Does this line up with anyone's time frame?

I haven't done any true bikepacking. Just a multi-day mountain bike ride with a day pack.

Let me know and we can talk about logistics and see if we might make a good team

I'm 25 and male. From MI. I live in near San Francisco now.
